Join us for an inspirational talk followed by a hands-on workshop, and discover how applying intersectional thinking can lead to more inclusive products, services, and business strategies – while unlocking new ideas, technologies, and markets.
How can your business gain from broader perspectives? What intersectional factors are important for your company or venture? In today’s fast-changing market, innovation thrives at the intersection of technology, diversity, and design. The goal of intersectional design is to add value to business by developing new ideas, patents, and technologies, while enhancing social equity by making products and services that meet the needs of everyone across all of society.
